Design and optimization of a radial-axial hybrid excited machine with spoke-type permanent magnet rotor

To further enhance the speed regulation range of the hybrid excited machine (HEM), the structure of a magnetic ring is optimized using a combination of the magnetic circuit method (MCM) and numerical analysis method in this paper, and a disc magnetic ring (DMR) is proposed. The magnetic density distribution of the proposed disc magnetic ring hybrid excited machine (DMRHEM) is compared to the radial-axial hybrid excited machine (RAHEM), and the superiority of alleviating a saturation problem in the proposed DMRHEM is determined. To improve the power density, the spoke-type permanent magnet (PM) rotor is applied. The influence of the proposed DMR on the HEM is analyzed, and the field adjustment capability of the proposed DMRHEM is better. Based on this, by combining the bypass principle, the analytical expressions for the relations between the rotor pole-pair number and the motor axial length/stator inner diameter (MAL/SID) as well as flux regulation capability are derived to further explore the superiority of the proposed DMRHEM. The influence mechanism of the rotor pole-pair number and the MAL/SID on the proposed DRMHEM is determined. The optimal MAL/SID and pole-pair number are obtained.
